“Yeah, it's not like it's a mini-series or anything, isn't?”

Secretary of State Rubio, holding fourth before dawn this morning, and doing quite a great job, I might add. Well, here we are. The Chris Plant Show, Chris On Vacation, Michael Palka, my name's sitting in for my friend.

Once again, happy to be here, thrilled to be here, honored to be here on this Wednesday. No mailbag today, because nobody has questions about me, at least none that I could answer. And if you gave me the questions about Chris,

I would be making stuff up some of it, I know, but I'd be making stuff up to cost trouble. Anyway, here we are on a Wednesday. A very, very busy Wednesday, again,

“and we always think that this time near the end of July,”

when the House and Senate are getting ready to skid atle and go home for a summer break.

We always think this is going to be a quiet time.

Not so. Many things happening today, especially in the wake of yesterday's hearing in the Senate, yesterday's hearing, in the House, the Senate talking about funding to the Defense Department, and we had Pete Hexeth,

and General Raisin Kane, and the Agriculture Secretary was in there as well. Thanks God, he did. We will get to that. We will show you some of what we consider to be the highlights.

In the House, there was a hearing regarding what the heck is going on inside the Smithsonian, as the wokeness of the Smithsonian has been called out. And it's not supposed to be an indoctrination organization, but yet it seems to be.

And there were some just crazy moments in the hearing yesterday. I had my popcorn, and I was watching, and I laughed out loud at a couple of moments, and shook my head repeatedly at others. And then today, the President is already

en route to Dover, Delaware. I believe, Zordi, he said it to Dover, Delaware, for the very serious and somber dignified transfer of the remains of four service personnel who lost their lives, so that we and the world can be free of Iranian nuclear

ambitions, and that's going to take place. I believe the dignified transfers taking place officially

closer to the third hour of the show.

But if there is anything to report from there, we will double check on it and get you as much information as we can. There were many other things happening today, including CNN getting ready to light its collective hair on fire. I just am amazed every day.

“If you work on air at CNN, you have to wake up and look for something”

that Donald Trump says or does to force you to light your hair on fire. Today, it appears to be the news, and it's not even confirmed yet. It's just a rumor, although I think it's probably pretty reliable, that the President has signed off on a deal approving Saudi Arabia to enrich nuclear material for civilian purposes.

Right? Saudi Arabia may be given the green light to enrich nuclear material, so they can have nuclear reactors for energy. And this will make the left crazy. It's already got CNN just nailing one foot to the floor, running in a circle, while the hair is burning on top of their heads.

That's what's going on today. It's just absolutely fun to watch, if you know what I'm saying. We also have some wonderful clips, not just from Secretary Rubio. I think the prediction markets may have it wrong. Yesterday, the prediction markets seemed to show that Vice President J.

Vance had nudged Marco Rubio when it comes to the favor choice for the GOP nomination in 2028 when I watched Marco Rubio and how he handles the press as he did this morning in the Philippines following a meeting with the Chinese Foreign Minister, his counterpart in China. I think this guy is cool common collected, and he does not get rattled, and he doesn't

I just think there's a certain level of what the political class likes to call presidential

“timber, and Secretary of State Rubio displays that for me.”

Again, nothing against the Vice President. I just feel like there is a statesmanship that has a presidential tone to it. But if you disagree or agree, you're welcome to join the conversation at Triple 8-6309625888-6309625. We'll get to some of those clips as we also have other things I'm looking at, they're just downright entertaining.

Jasmine Crocket, who we're going to say goodbye to Jasmine Crocket in the very near future

in terms of her working inside the House of Representatives.

I'm not so certain that MS-13 now isn't tracking her to see if they can find a spot for her, maybe a reporter on the street for the Sharpton Show who knows. She can make as ridiculous a statement as Sharpton, so that maybe a possibility we will see. But she was making a ridiculous statement yesterday. She will share that with you.

A court has also announced that Joe Biden's efforts to squash the four hours of testimony that the now former president gave to Robert Hur, the hertapes, might be fully released. We have some of the excerpts that we got that show the problem that was so apparent with Joe Biden.

“Yesterday, the two-year anniversary of Joe Biden dropping out of the race in 2024, I think that's”

what that was, I have to go back and check the calendar on it. But if we get the Biden tapes, oh, that is going to be a buffet of great material, although the left will say how dare you, how they will, they will be channeling their integrated tune book, how dare you mock the man while he is in his retirement, and while he is battling cancer. Well, there's a lot of people battling cancer, and there's a lot of people battling cancer,

and it's still going to work. I will tell you that.

So if Biden and what the left was hiding from us is finally given to us, we will play it.

Also looking at some other craziness out there, the main Senate race continues in the guy who appears to be the shoe in, Troy Jackson, now it appears that there may be some serious questions about Troy Jackson's background, including the fact that when he first got into public life, he was a pro-life Republican, and got elected, and then became an independent, and now is a Democrat, and may have, like, an anger problem, we don't know, but when CNN was approached

with this on a story today, they responded, "Well, you are allowed to evolve in your politics goods, so you're just making up an excuse for them, aren't you?" And the social issue, which I would like to get into, is France. Yesterday, at the end of the show, I admitted to something. I admitted that I agreed with Tim Walsh on the bill he signed, which has been called the

grandparents Happy Hour Bill in Minnesota, which will allow people, seniors who are living in retirement communities or assisted living facilities to enjoy a cocktail. An alcoholic beverage, and I was surprised that hadn't been permitted in the past, but Tim Walsh signed it yesterday, and I can't believe I agree with him, but yes, I do. I do, I think that's fine, and I'm sure everybody who lives in the villages is going,

wait a minute, you guys didn't have that?

“That's why we're not in Minnesota, and it's zero degrees more than a quarter of the year in”

that state. A lot to get to today, or I mentioned the Tim Walsh thing in relation to, I agree with France on something, we'll get into that, it's a social issue. And of course, as I said, the phones are open, they'll triple 8, 6, 3, 0, 9, 6, 2, 5, 8, 8, 8, 8, 6, 3, 0, 9, 6, 2, 5. We will get to phones ASAP, but we open up with Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio talking about what

he's facing, and the things that he has to deal with. Obviously, one of the biggest issues, not just sitting down with the Chinese, but after the Chinese meeting, the meeting with the Foreign Minister of China, one of the biggest issues

would be cut too, please, Michael.

There aren't a lot of trouble, I mean, they obviously don't have a free press that reports on the, for example, you guys will report on, you know, the impact saving on the U.S. economy and gas prices in this land, they don't have that in Iran, but I can tell you, they're facing hyperinflation, runaway inflation, high food costs, these are all pre-existing, they've all gotten worse, they've suffered a tremendous amount of damage to their military infrastructure,

but they've also spent 20 years taking every penny they have, and not spending it on their country. They spent it on sponsoring terrorist groups and building up their missiles and their drone systems. And their drone systems turned out to be a pretty smart choice because, let's face it, that's been one of the surprises in Iran's flexibility and ability to stay active after we have now spent 11 nights bombing the bejesus out of them. Rubio continued talking about Iran and what they

were supposed to do after we signed the memorandum of understanding. Look at all these things are compliance based, right? I mean, if you make a deal, if you sign onto an agreement and then you violate the agreement, the agreement's no longer valid, that doesn't

mean you can't have a future agreement, but ultimately that future agreement will have to be judged

on whether or not you're complying with the conditions. And that deal called for the opening of the straits, free and fair navigation. In fact, they were supposed to put out a statement to that regard, a week and a half ago. And instead, on the day they were supposed to put out that statement, instead of doing that, they targeted him to up or hit a ship. So, we remain open to diplomacy, we remain open to working it out in an negotiated way, but right now they don't seem to be serious

“about that. And I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that we're not really sure who's”

in charge. We had the rumor reported from an intelligence expert friend of mine who said there is a serious question as to whether the latest dietola is even in the country. And one reporter asked Rubio, if it's hard to inspire confidence in these kinds of meetings that we can bring a swift end to the war. How difficult is it to inspire confidence that these meetings, such as the ones you've had today, that the US can bring in a quick end to the war? The US would love to reach a

diplomatic settlement. We'd love to reach an agreement if it were possible with Iran that would

ensure they never have a nuclear weapon, and obviously help stop them. And we'd love to have an agreement

where they say we're no longer sponsor terrorism, and we will not pursue a nuclear weapon or the things you need for a nuclear weapon. I think there's a lack of confidence is the lack of confidence that the Iranian regime will ever agree to any of those things. That would be the lack of confidence, and the bigger lack of confidence should be that they've already made commitments very recently, and in that memorandum of understanding, and within two weeks, it violated it.

“So I think if there's any undermining of confidence, it's confidence that the Iranian system,”

as it currently is structured, can reach an agreement. I agree with him, and it's just squishy, everything we get of, whoever is making these agreements in Iran, because there's no definitive answer to who's in charge, and I would add one more thing to his conditions in there, no nuclear weapon, no sponsor of terrorism, which it's going to be hard because the Houthis and Hesbalah, they've kind of gotten used to that Iranian cash flow. I also think we have to make certain there is

no toll imposed on any traffic through the straight of Hormos. Just can't happen. That's got to be part of that, from absolutely, from jump, and President Trump waited till after the press conference this morning, put out a statement saying, "From this point forward, this is on truth social earlier today." Any ship, the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots, any time they shoot as a ship in the straight of Hormos, whether it be by missile rocket drone or any other device or weapon, the United

States will bomb and destroy one bridge or power plant, including those located next to or in the capital city of Tehran. Thank you for your attention to this matter. So it sounds as if the president is trying to forcefully bring the Iranian regime to a negotiation, the discussion on this. And as you can see, I have a pretty strong confidence in the two top choices we have

“for the 2028 Republican nomination. I think Rubio exports himself very well,”

and I'm not saying that Vance doesn't. We'll discuss this. The phones are hopping already. Triple 8-6309625-888-6809625. It's a pelka and for plant on the crisp rancher.

because there was a lot to scroll through on X on Instagram, on TikTok, or cutting through the clutter.

One hot take at a time. Love seeing you all in the chat before the show. I tried to jump in just a few minutes before to say hello. I love the chat interaction. Thank you for helping. But I do it to get all the videos and all the content that you won't find anywhere else. Scrolling with Hailey just search that up and I will be there. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. And welcome to it. It's Michael Pelka and for Chris Plant on the Chris Plant Show.

Just to try to review everything going on constantly. It's a giant game of political and

news. Welcome all here. We opened up with Secretary Rubio who seems to be on the road all the time.

“He did a press event early early this morning here from the Philippines. And I remarked that I think”

Marco Rubio could be presidential timber. And Tom in Maryland is calling this show to make his thoughts known. Tom, welcome to the Chris Plant Show. Thank you. My God. Appreciate you taking the call. And I just wanted to say I don't disagree with anything that you're saying. I'm big fans of both gentlemen, Judy Vance and Marco Rubio. I think they both are fantastic trump supporters. And I think we've carried the torch well. You're comment on presidential timber. I just what struck me

was we got to be careful with that because there are a lot of previous candidates that we had that were presidential, right? And I just want to make sure we focus on policy, what they've done in the past, what they're doing today, and what they say they're going to do tomorrow. And so that was that was the only thought I had. I just wanted to share with you and the listening audience. So I appreciate you taking the call. Tom, is there a particular candidate from the 2015-2016

“that gigantic that I think was the first time in my memory we had a whole stadium full of potential”

choices from different parts of the GOP. Is there anyone you were thinking about? They got highlighted as presidential timber because I have one or two in my mind. Yeah, so I can't quite remember the years and the candidates, but Romney came to mind a few others that were presidential timber. Who else were you thinking of? Well, a lot of people tried to sell us on Jeb. Remember the exclamation point? Yes, yes. I would say George W. Bush as well. He's presidential timber. He's presidential. They're

gentlemen and they're good people. Don't get me right and I think we're both thinking all the same lines. They're good people, but we're talking about it. It's a present at the United States and I think with Donald Trump is as done over the course of his time is to show that you need a whole heck of a lot more than presidential to lead this country and frankly lead the world. Yeah, you have to have

“a backbone. You have to have accomplishments, a history of performance and I think that is critical.”

It's a great point. Thank you Tom. Take it a break. It's Michael Pelka in for Chris Plant on the Chris Plant show. And welcome back to Chris Plant show. Michael Pelka is sitting in for my vacationing

friend Chris Plant. Sure, he's having a great vacation. I can always tell when he's enjoying his

vacation. I don't hear from him because sometimes I do. We are trying to cover everything today and believe me. There's a lot to get to and we'll we'll make sure we get to as much for this possible. Also your calls triple eight six three zero nine six two five. Let me grab one call before I dive into this next round of madness that came out of DC yesterday. Let's check in with Mike in Fairfax County Virginia. Hello, Mike. Hi. How you doing today? I'm good sir. What's on your mind? Yes. I'm not sure

if anyone called in about this but over the past week or so there's been a goat encampment here in Fairfax County right on Route 50 there near near I know the hospital and I I did call the police this morning and talked to them about it and they said that everything is currently legal, the goats are healthy and you're saying you have a right to do that and they're I mean you're saying Mike what you're saying was what is what is happening with Fairfax County. Mike you're saying a goat encampment like

people there with a test sign on you know a piece or whatever but they've got three goats there.

“Okay I don't think that makes a goat encampment I think that makes it some kind of”

better when liking it like that's one Fairfax County. Yeah I haven't seen it either and that's that's more than disturbing it's near the hospital. Well if the police told you that it's legal they must have gone over to check it so maybe there's nothing in their power that they can do which that would be unfortunate. Yeah but it's in the DOT it's in the DOT right away and you know there are a lot of other municipalities and we're not tolerate that especially with

goats are defecating all over the place so it's been sitting there a week it's something I'd have not seen on the news and I just think it's newsworthy. Well it is newsworthy I'd be more interested to know how many people were in this encampment and if it's in the right away then certainly there there is a problem but you got to remember Virginia voted for what Virginia is getting now and I know that's not good news for people with common sense but it's going

“to be I believe a long time before Virginia gets a chance to make a change at the top and that's”

unfortunate because I know many great people that live in Virginia and it's a matter of fact the vice president and his now growing family have just picked up a property in I think it was middle bird Virginia near the plains Virginia near where the Kennedy home was for a brief time so it's interesting the vice president will be there there'll be a lot of secret service presence but you're talking about Fairfax County I hope they get that straightened up I would

like to know how many people are there three goats not exactly making a an ecological disaster with whatever they're dropping and in many cases they they eat things like poison ivy which is a gift I wouldn't worry about three goats I worry about thirty or forty people and an encampment that seems to be a big issue as well but keep us posted Mike would you I appreciate that thank you sir there he goes that's kind of a sorrow the screen the phone screen says homeless in camp and by

over by Fairfax hospital police don't seem to care well the cops have obviously checked it out I'd be more worried about the health and safety of the people inside especially if they're on the transportation right away usually they won't let a car stop for very long before they have it cleared out of it's in the right away that's that's one of those things that you really you really

“can't let go on for a while other stories that we have to cover today I think that one of the biggest”

stories on the heels of today is the seventh day since president Trump delivered the nationwide address it was last Thursday so this is day seven since president Trump addressed the country in a brief speech that pointed out some of the problems we have with securing our elections

and having election integrity and the left has not not for one second I don't think anyone on

the left I've seen say well you know he's right we got a problem if china's got all this voter data that's a serious problem or if we have questions about the integrity of our elections we should do something about it well yesterday the governor of new jersey Mikey Cheryl admitted they had a problem in the state of new jersey and kind of an interesting twist in this little press conference let me give you what you said first in June of 2023 nearly three years

before I became governor a serious software error in new jersey's motor vehicle system led to the improper voter registration of what we believe to be roughly 6600 people in our state

now let me pause that because it did you know the first thing she did was say uh before I got here

this happened it didn't happen on my watch but it happened haven't done a democrat watch so it's the party but uh she said what we believe roughly and blaming on a software error continue governor when new jerseyans applied for a driver's license or identification at the MVC

indicated that they weren't citizens and weren't eligible to vote but the software registered them

“anyway gee what could be the problem with this motor voter law here's the problem and this is the”

6600 or so non-citizens that we know well out of the 6600 apparently 400 voted around 400

actually voted and we're told this never happens we're told this is in consequential we're told this

is uh this is uh of a figment of your imagination interesting the governor brought this forward but she also found a way to speeder the president while she was admitting to this serious breach in her state let me be clear Donald Trump has zero credibility on the issue of the election integrity so you just talked about your state utilizing a flawed software program that allowed 6600 that we know of people who should not be registered to vote to be on the

voter rolls and Donald Trump said hey we got a problem with our our voter rolls in the country

and the first thing you said after you said there was a serious problem with your own state's

voter rolls was let me be clear Donald Trump has zero credibility on the issue of election

“integrity you cannot have it both ways madam although I I think you want it both ways”

continue for the past 10 years he's cried wolf and peddled bizarre conspiracy theories about fraud with no evidence well I guess you just gave him some evidence I guess the uh crying of wolf may now be uh considered to be crying truth in this case I saw the consequences

of Trump's lies on January 6 I was in the capital when he and his followers tried to steal the

election and put the lives of hundreds of members of our law enforcement at risk once again the Democrats favorite national holiday January 6th governor Cheryl trying to uh trying to say that all of this is connected it's not uh do we need to go back to who was offered the national guard to protect the capital days before this cash total has the sign paperwork they offered it to Pelosi they offered it to the head of the capital police who said no no we're got we're good on

this do we need to go into all the other questions madam no you're not going to diminish the problem that exists among our our voting systems especially the voter especially these computer is systems where by your own admission it's a software problem it was a software issue that allowed these 6600 non-citizens now the the federal government has asked for all the blue states to give us their voter registration so we can see if they're um if they're up to snuff so we could check them

and the blue states are saying no majority of the blue states are saying no we're not going to do that we refuse because you know we we uh we're trying to protect people uh who are you protecting who are you protecting and the reality here is that uh 6600 non-citizens registered to vote in just one state that's 6600 we know just from this one program the voter voter registration program through the DMV and New Jersey there could be others on the voter rolls but until a federal

authority a different authority is allowed to validate that this is again why I go back to my belief that we should just search the entire national voter registration and say if you want about 2028 you're going to have to re-register every person who wants to vote in this country in 2020 eight I believe should be forced to re-register I don't care if you've been registered for 25 years

“I don't care I think we need to zero base it that's the only way to get a clean counting”

of where our voter registration is in this country nobody will do it because it makes sense and you'd have honest numbers uh some people still try to mess with it uh democrats senator

this egregious violation being quizzed by but it does represent a pretty big screw up and probably

“the largest breach of this kind that I can ever cover what was your crisis it's not not Rachel”

Matt I don't care what it says on the screen it's Chris Hase action to seeing that news today

yeah you know I heard about it for the first time today as well and I'd say look I mean this

is unacceptable and this needs to be fixed immediately and people need to be held accountable for that especially if they've known this since it's happened a couple years ago so yes you know when there are mistakes when there are things that are broken we need to fix it but we also need to make sure that we're looking at the problems in the right size that this is not akin to what Donald Trump was talking about see Donald Trump was talking about voter fraud Donald Trump was talking

“about the lack of credibility inside the voter registration syndrome so how is a flawed voter”

registration syndrome not akin to what Donald Trump was talking about trump derangement syndrome

seriously bad this is one of the guys who also was outside of the the ice facility in the new jersey one of the people who made sure he got the mace so he could scream in holler and he came he said he's one of the folks that finds a camera quicker than Chuck Schumer used to do right now and for those of you who say well maybe there's nothing to this this 6600 people who are improperly registered illegally registered to vote in this country maybe you think there's nothing

to that states matter especially when we're talking about presidential elections and we talk

“about electoral votes and if you look I started looking back at the individual elections in the”

past 20 years or so to see which states had the closest voter margins and we all immediately go to Florida in 2000 when it was 537 votes to George Bush winning over Al Gore 537 votes New Jersey had 6600 give or take illegally registered people in in the same year in 2000 New Mexico 366 votes made New Mexico's electoral votes go to Al Gore over Bush 366 at the 400 people that voted in New Jersey illegally could have tipped that election the other way in Missouri in

2008 less than 4,000 votes decided it for John McCain over Barack Obama less than 4,000 votes I remind you 6,600 votes in the state of New Jersey the voter integrity is a real deal I just wish the news media would look into it a little bit further I could go on through the list because George in 2020 was was just under 12,000 votes Michigan in 2016 was 10,000 votes Trump over Clinton Wisconsin 2004 was 11,000 votes which gave John Kerry the win over Bush

New Hampshire in 2016 was 2700 bill Clinton over Donald Trump just 2700 it goes on and on and on voter integrity if you do not have voter integrity you don't have election integrity if you don't have

election integrity you will always have people on the losing side of any election who don't trust the

leader it's that easy both sides need to pay attention what do you think triple eight six three zero nine six two five eight eight six three zero nine six two five we'll go to the phone there for the break it's a palka in for plant on the Chris plant show it is the Chris plant show Michael palka in for my friend Chris plant we'll boy the phones are bubbling so let's get right to it Mike in DC joining the Chris plant show Mike you have a thought about this voter fraud out of Jersey absolutely Mike how you doing good sir good sir welcome

all right thank you so now the new Jersey governor has just established as a matter of fact the software used in the voting machine is erroneous causes mistakes the federal judges who denied the department of justice and access to these voting machines

all the rule they're all ruling if not take that one that would be nice that would be nice bike but

“I don't think I don't think we should hold our breath waiting for that to happen I'm just saying”

well now that if there is evidence and the judge made or and the wrong year schooling of fact okay this is not not a misinterpretation if we know for a fact that there is evidence the judge cannot continue a ruling saying there is no evidence you see what I'm saying

I'm with the 100% let's say who use this software system now should be requested to produce

what software system they use and absolutely deserves to allow an audit to happen on the federal

“land of it thank you I appreciate to that's a great thought let's go to one of the one of the”

leaders of the pack of the real housewives of WMAL the Chris Plant flagship station Sylvie and Waldorf Maryland hello Sylvie hey Mike a little off topic here but I'm

going to talk to you about Jasmine Crocker the remarks that Argentinians and Argentina are racist

of course this stems after Spain beat Argentina in the final of the world cup I don't know she took any history classes but you know the Spanish conquistadors were the ones slaughtering and killing indigenous tribes in the Caribbean and Latin America number one and secondly if anyone knows anything of Argentine they opened the doors to Italian and Eastern European immigrants centuries ago which is why a lot of them have Italian last names like messy scolary but Mike this all stems

because the world cup was such a success in this country for 40 days and 40 nights they told us the stadiums would be empty that was denied they told us that soccer fans foreign soccer fans would be arrested on the spot that was denied there was no crime there were no riots maybe of the Democrats had a bit of power they would be this all stems because of that and also because of millay is in charge of Argentina now why was in this topic brought up 10 years ago 15 years ago

when they had left leading socialist great no Sylvie up against the clock those were all great points and yes I have Jasmine Crockett's insanity I will share just around the corner it's a pelca in for plant on the Chris Plancho the United States soccer Federation presents the US soccer floodcast the place we're on Megan Klingberg a world cup expert teaches you everything that you need to know for this summer's world cup how special is it that we've been able to follow this

young group of guys it's been such a roller coaster of the motion you can feel the intensity white a bit of time energy ever everything along the way on these guys making the country proud

“and I think they will the summer the US soccer podcast presented by Henkel follow and listen on”
